There are many different course designs for the teaching of old age psychiatry. It may be taught in blocks or spread over the undergraduate curriculum and/or integrated with either psychiatry or medicine for the elderly. Whichever approach is used, at the end of their undergraduate training, students should have the same core knowledge, skills and attitudes.
